This book focuses on security practices, civil liberties and the
politics of borders in liberal democracies. In the aftermath of
9/11, security practices and the denial of human rights and civil
liberties are often portrayed as an exception to liberal rule, and
seen as institutionally, legally and spatially distinct from the
liberal state. Drawing upon detailed empirical studies from
migration controls, such as the French waiting zone, Australian
off-shore processing and US maritime interceptions, this study
demonstrates that the limitation of liberties is not an anomaly of
liberal rule, but embedded within the legal order of liberal
democracies. The most ordinary, yet powerful way, of limiting
liberties is the creation of legal identities, legal borders and
legal spaces. It is the possibility of limiting liberties through
liberal and democratic procedures that poses the key challenge to
the protection of liberties. The book develops three inter-related
arguments. First, it questions the discourse of exception that
portrays liberal and illiberal rule as distinct ways of governing
and scrutinizes liberal techniques for limiting liberties. Second,
it highlights the space of government and argues for a change in
perspective from territorial to legal borders, especially legal
borders of policing and legal borders of rights. Third, it
emphasizes the role of ordinary law for illiberal practices and
argues that the legal order itself privileges policing powers and
prevents access to liberties. This book will be of interest to
students of critical security studies, social and political theory,
political geography and legal studies, and IR in general.
